EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Manchester bath to shower conversion project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £4,543.69 total. The app-exported PDF, first-page preview, measurement basis, scope boundaries and matching UK estimating guide let you inspect every quantity and rate.
What this example covers
This fictional job is set in Manchester and concerns one existing bath alcove. Remove one bath and fit a shower in the same alcove, with a new base, wall finish, valve trim and screen allowance. Existing supply and drain positions remain. The estimate is a bounded document: the customer should be able to compare the described work with its measured lines, product allowances and exclusions. The matching UK guide explains how to prepare those inputs.

Itemised bath to shower conversion example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Wall finish installation at £1,446.69; this is one fictional component, not a typical price. Read each quantity with its unit: area, length, time, count and lump sum describe different work and must not be interchanged.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dust protection | 1 lump sum | £132.00 | £132.00 |
| Bath and surround removal | 1 lump sum | £336.00 | £336.00 |
| Shower tray allowance | 1 each | £608.00 | £608.00 |
| Wet-wall preparation and waterproofing | 7 sq m | £155.00 | £1,085.00 |
| Wall finish installation | 7 sq m | £206.67 | £1,446.69 |
| Valve trim and screen allowance | 1 set | £784.00 | £784.00 |
| Disposal and final seal | 1 lump sum | £152.00 | £152.00 |
| Illustrative total | £4,543.69 | ||
The table separates the named product or material allowances from labour and site tasks wherever the scope needs that distinction. Before replacing a rate, check whether the product allowance includes delivery, waste, fixings and the selected specification.
How the total is calculated
Wet-wall preparation and waterproofing is 7 sq m × £155.00 = £1,085.00. Wall finish installation is 7 sq m × £206.67 = £1,446.69. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £4,543.69. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Measure the finished alcove on three sides, the wet-wall area and the drain location before selecting the base. Selection to check: Keep the shower tray, screen and finish tile as named allowances until the products are selected. The 0% tax field and zero markup are example document inputs, not an instruction for a live quote. Decide the correct settings for your own business and job.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm water shutoff, demolition, waterproofing inspection and curing time before promising a handoff date.
Outside this stated scope: No bathroom layout change, concealed structural repair or whole-room repainting.
Rot behind the surround or a drain that cannot align with the chosen base changes the work. A changed condition should lead to a newly measured quantity, explicit revised allowance or separately agreed task. Keep the customer informed of which figure changed and why before producing another PDF.
